Detailed information on the ethical approval process and a link to the form is available at: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/research/researchgovernance/ethics/process/Summary of the Proposed Project The proposed project aims to develop a robust, efficient and cost-effective solution to the task of designing an air propulsion drive system, with the goals of it being compact and low power in mind. Current technologies in use can be improved to make them longer lasting and more resilient. The project seeks to identify the most appropriate compromise between cost, size, reliability, longevity and efficiency. Current air propulsion systems are often noisy, this is an area that, through exploration, will be considered. To engage with the problem mentioned above, the author proposes the following course of action:An exploration of conventional drive control architectures: this will consist of identifying potentials for system improvement from a control systems perspective.Following the identification of a suitable control approach, the author aims to identify the power electronics solution best suited to being incorporated into the drive system decided upon. These developments will take place in consideration of the motor design solutions available. The author also aims to consider methods for improving the cost, efficiency and robustness of the power electronics used: this will involve looking at whether the number of switches used can be reduced. The author also aims to investigate novel control methods for the reduction of wear in the drive system used. Reducing wear in the drive system will improve longevity, reducing the need for repair; further, it will also contribute to making the drive system more efficient and less noisy.
